Shaheen Shah Afridi	32	8	95	1	2.96	149	12	0	0	4
180.2 to MA Starc, chipped straight to cover-point! Strange shot first up. A fuller length outside off, he tried to lace a drive on the up and it just held in the surface a touch and he sliced an easy catch straight to cover-point. 505/9
Hasan Ali	25	7	71	1	2.84	118	10	0	0	2
88.5 to SPD Smith, what a one-handed catch to bring some life to the game before the end of play! Faheem Ashraf at second slip! Back of a length on fifth stump, Smith is drawn into poking at this and pushes with hard hands away from his body. Faheem reaches low to his left at slip as the ball has almost passed him but he stabs it before it hits the ground at ankle height. Third umpire is taking an eternity, not sure what for. It was a clear catch live and nothing from the replays to suggest the ball touched the ground. It stays out.. 250/3
Faheem Ashraf	21	4	55	2	2.61	103	9	0	0	0
17.6 to DA Warner, gem from Faheem! Angled in on fourth stump at 135 kph, Warner is squared up defending as the ball just nips away a fraction and a healthy edge carries behind to Rizwan. The crowd goes bonkers. Something for the bowlers for once in this series!. 82/1 105.2 to NM Lyon, bullseye! Fullish length on middle at 135 kph, Lyon is late trying to whip this through midwicket, caroms off the pad and into the middle of middle stump. That's a 50-point dart from Faheem and finally the overnight stand is broken!. 304/4
Sajid Khan	57	10	167	2	2.92	255	9	6	3	0
120.2 to TM Head, given lbw! Head reviews quickly. Tossed up full, drifting into middle, Head stuck his front foot down and played around his front pad but he hit his pad and not the ball. This looks out. No bat involved. Ball tracking says ... umpire's call! Clipping leg. The decision stands. Head is out.. 347/5 130.2 to UT Khawaja, bowled him with a peach! What a delivery! Sensational from Sajid! Drifting into off stump on a good length, Khawaja went back to defend and it spins past the edge to clip the top of off! Brilliant bowling.. 360/6
Noman Ali	48	6	134	1	2.79	208	9	3	2	0
145.3 to C Green, my goodness! It was all part of the plan! Green lulled to sleep temporarily kicking balls away and then Nauman gets one to turn in sharply from outside leg to bowl him top of off! It pitched on a good length six inches outside leg. Green could have easily kicked it away again, but seemed confused as it was headed toward the stumps and decided to bring his bat down half-heartedly and a bit belatedly too. Comes nowhere close to touching it and Nauman looks like a genius.. 405/7
Babar Azam	4	0	7	1	1.75	18	0	0	0	0
177.6 to AT Carey, oh my goodness! What has happened? Babar has doubled his career Test wicket tally and denied Carey a maiden century all at once! Flighted full on off, a seemingly innocuous delivery. Carey goes to sweep, a shot that has brought him the bulk of his runs in this knock, but the ball skids a touch low and goes underneath his bat into off stump!. 503/8

Mitchell Starc	13	5	29	3	2.23	64	3	0	0	2
25.4 to Azhar Ali, brilliant catch at second slip by Green! Thick edge flew low and Green pouched it in his big mitts! 149.5kph, full and wide, enticing the drive, Azhar drives hard and square but it just tailed away late, he sliced a thick edge and it flew to Green who is standing very close at second and he took it with ease.. 60/3 25.5 to Fawad Alam, searing yorker given lbw! Fawad Alam reviews but this is huge trouble. Another missile from Starc at 145kph, just short of a yorker, tailing in sharply, Fawad's bat is nowhere near it, it thunders into the front pad. Ball tracking has it crashing into leg! Pakistan lose a review. Starc on a hat-trick. 60/4 37.2 to Sajid Khan, beauty! Good length ball on fourth stump at 139 kph hits a crack in the pitch and straightens to beat the edge. Ball looks nowhere near the bat. Carey goes wild appealing. Starc is confused and says he didn't think there was anything. Australia decides to go for DRS. Replays make it sound like there was a faint noise possibly. Ultraedge shows a spike! Carey was the only player on the field who felt there was an edge. The slips and Starc were not sold. Carey was adamant and Cummins decision to trust his keeper results in a DRS reversal and wicket. . 97/7
Pat Cummins	13	2	39	1	3.00	62	5	1	0	0
31.1 to Mohammad Rizwan, beauty from Cummins! Identical ball to the one that was dropped in his previous over by Smith. Full in the fifth stump channel swinging away a touch at 141 kph, this time Smith is standing much wider at first slip so as not to interfere with a regulation edge carrying through to Carey shuffling to his right and taken comfortably at knee height.. 76/5
Nathan Lyon	9	5	13	1	1.44	49	1	1	0	0
19.6 to Imam-ul-Haq, holes out to mid on! Horrible shot! Lyon did him in flight. He jumped down almost premeditated trying to launch straight, he just didn't quite get to the pitch as it drifted in and he clothed it off the inside half of the bat and lobbed a head high catch to Cummins at mid on. Imam has thrown his wicket away. 45/2
Mitchell Swepson	9	1	32	2	3.55	35	4	0	0	0
46.1 to Babar Azam, Babar holes out! Swepson has a wicket on debut! First ball he lands a very nice leg break, Babar charged out and was nowhere near the pitch trying to launch over long on, he sliced it high towards long off, Khawaja runs in and takes a very comfortable catch.. 118/9 52.6 to Shaheen Shah Afridi, Given lbw! Shaheen reviews. He tried to sweep a very full leg break from off stump. It sneaked under the bat and hit the front ankle. Ultra edge confirmed he missed it. It was spinning back down the line. Ball tracking says ... clipping leg. Umpire's call. That turned more than it looked live. It's out.. 148/10
Cameron Green	8	1	23	1	2.87	35	2	0	0	1
32.3 to Faheem Ashraf, stone dead from Green! Pakistan are turning shades of red and blue! Full and angled into the body at 139 kph from around the wicket, Ashraf looked nervous ever since his arrival and another tentative flick is late. It was really a half-volley but Faheem couldn't get his feet moving and his bat down in time, it pings him on the shin in front of middle and was going to take out leg stump. He walks off despondent without even considering a review.. 81/6

108.6 to Abdullah Shafique, reverse swing brings the wicket for Cummins and Shafique is denied a century! Smith atones for his drop yesterday at slip on 20! Fullish length on sixth stump, but not really full enough to drive and well outside off. Could've been left alone but Cummins was creating questions throughout the over with movement both ways and sucks Shafique into the shot. It flies off the edge into Smith's breadbasket at waist height. Identical height to the drop on 20 but this time swallows it up in very assured fashion.. 249/3 118.3 to Fawad Alam, caught behind! Magnificent from Cummins! Bashing away again at a good length angling into the top of off, it did nothing off the surface but Fawad wasn't far enough forward, he got a thick edge and Carey pouches it low to his left.. 277/4

Nathan Lyon	55	20	112	4	2.03	265	8	2	0	0
5.5 to Imam-ul-Haq, Given lbw! Imam reviews after a long chat with Shafique. He played forward to one that slid on off the surface. No turn, it thumped into the pad first. No bat. Ball tracking has it hitting in line and smashing the middle of middle! He played for turn and got his pad infront of bat and with it sliding on it hit flush on the shin. Easy decision. Pakistan lose a wicket and a review.. 2/1 159.4 to Babar Azam, my goodness! Babar prods a bat pad catch to Labuschagne at forward short leg! You can hear a pin drop momentarily before the crowd's pause ends to stand and applaud a magnificent effort from their captain, the seventh highest fourth innings score in Test history! It was floated up full on fifth stump, Babar tried to stretch forward to smother it but Lyon gets some extra bounce to get the ball to pop up off the glove and then the pad, floats up for Labuschagne to dart across the pitch from forward short leg for a simple catch.. 392/5 159.5 to Faheem Ashraf, Lyon on a hat-trick! Edge to Smith low at slip! Floated on a fullish length on off, Faheem prods forward and the ball straightens enough to clip the edge and flies low to Smith's left at left shin height. He takes a sharp catch.. 392/6 163.6 to Sajid Khan, edge to slip! Lyon gives this a lot more air at 85 kph on a good length on fifth stump, Sajid goes on the back foot and plays inside the line expecting turn but it skids straight on and clips the outside edge. It flies quickly to Smith at chest height. He bobbles it initially off his wrists but he's got enough fleshy torso to cushion the ball to take it calmly on the rebound.. 414/7
Cameron Green	15	4	32	1	2.13	69	0	0	2	3
22.2 to Azhar Ali, Ducks into a short ball and given lbw! It shot low! Azhar consulted with Shafique regarding a rview and took too long! He's out! It was a short ball banged in, he ducked early and took his eyes off it and it skidded low and hit him on the body infront of middle and off!. 21/2
